Did they actually copy Destiny 1's Trials of Osiris (the sweaty try-hard mode) for the silly mascot limited time event?

Hog for the independence and shield busting value. With good positioning by everyone, other tanks might be better. Maybe even sym or echo as a third.

I have, no poo poo, completed the event challenge to get the skin without winning a single game. This mode suck and/or they never even contemplated balance or MMR for it. Just loving potatoes every game running Tracer into Hogs.

Ur mum's a discrimination. But seriously if you're soloing just turn off voice and text chat. Why do you keep touching the pub stove if it bothers you so much. Just stop doing it. This isn't hard.

I'm 46, have a demanding full time job, a family, and a social circle that does not include Overwatch gamers. I'm also Australian which vastly limits player population and time zone. I have tried to play with people since Overwatch 1 launched, on and off. You know what people want in people they play with regularly? Consistent availability. Higher skill level doesn't hurt either, which means practice time, which I don't have. Plat-ish is the realistic upper bound for me. I know from your responses in the past that you aren't in a position where you can grasp that these things are issues. I think they're valid for venting about, myself - many players are egotistical shits, and many of the matchmaking decisions that Blizzard implement feel pretty bad for mid skill solo players. And it's not like I can bitch to random people in the office about a video game - obviously I'm bringing the conversation to somewhere there is discussion about the video game. You aren't obliged to respond every time to defend Blizzard or point out why I'm wrong. Per your advice above, don't read my pretty infrequent posts.

for the vast majority of the playerbase, according to blizz's past dev blogs grouping together doesn't result in a greater chance of winning games versus non-grouped players there is an exception if you're at the very top of the ladder which is why there are much stricter grouping limits to cater much more to solo players

Thank you for repeating what is already common knowledge as if it's relevant to the issue I complained about, which is specifically the instance where organised high skill groups did receive a very significant advantage in a small-team elimination mode due to matchmaking implementation (or lack thereof) and then spent a bunch of calculated effort in disparaging people without that advantage to make themselves feel good.

any type of online matchmaking system is going to have sore losers (and more rarely sore winners). it's just human psychology and you have to accept it. as far as breaking a gimmick mode -- well warowl has a maxim that given the opportunity players will optimize the fun out of any game

i actually liked the matchmaker in ow1 better where it had a tighter sr range so that the game was more about playing well at your rank rather than trying to exploit or not get exploited by huge rank mismatches plat showing up in gm games as a matter of course just feels bad for both sides comedyblissoption fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Mar 24, 2023 |

Based on how they’ve done it for previous seasons, nothing about the new season will come out until at least the last week of the current season. Expect news next Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. Edit: Knowing me, my memory is off, but it’s even less likely for news this week/weekend between OWL returning while everyone behind the scenes is also trying to not promote it, along with Diablo 4 open beta.

Expect news next Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. Hm, I don't think that's right - Kiriko's announcement was September 15th and her season was October 4th. And Ram was even more pronounced, with his trailer releasing on November 6th and his patch was December 6th, a whole month early.

This isn't even a me thing, just stop touching the  I'm not even that good anymore, I literally hang out in upper diamond.

well we know the new healer has a commonly requested mechanic and a new way of interacting with their team. so its safe to assume they heal their team by shooting them in the rear end

I don't even do that tbh. I just kinda sweep the beam over whatever platform the enemy dps is trying to use so they don't have any space and then jam it into the body of whatever idiot stands in front of me if we're close and i don't have the form up. Typically what i use the slow for too, because then i actually can aim for the head. Headshots are hard and guaranteed DPS + good positioning is usually enough otherwise. Dude is fun tho, glad they nerfed him and now he just kinda seems like an option rather than an unfun annoyance.

I just love comp MH. I have been playing nothing else, except for 1 night of pachimari. Fast queues, chill games, seems to attract the kind of people i like to play with, leavers are penalized. Try a little hard. Play all the heros. It is good.
